James knew about the Omniscient Deity and the Prince of Orchid Mountain.The Omniscient Deity gave Thea qilin blood, and the Prince of Orchid Mountain gave her phoenix blood.This was enough for James to know that the two of them were immortals who had lived for at least a thousand years. With the addition of the Blood Race’s immortal, quite a few immortals of this world had revealed themselves.These immortals were all ninth-ranked grandmasters. James was unsure of who the masked man that showed up could be.He watched the battle from a distance.Langston joined the battle. The Primordial Dragon Blade in his hand was a legendary weapon. He appeared in front of the cyan dragon instantly and attacked it rapidly.The Primordial Dragon Blade plunged into the cyan dragon’s body.Splash!Immediately, blood splattered from its body.The cyan dragon was furious.It roared, and terrifying energy erupted from its body, forcing the Primordial Dragon Blade out of its body.Even a power
Once James surfaced from the water, Sky appeared before him.At that moment, Sky’s hair was disheveled, and he was covered in injuries with blood dripping from the corners of his lips. He looked at James and asked, “Where‘s Thomas?”James gently shook his head and sighed. “I was too late. Grandpa has already sunk into the bottom of the sea. A shark appeared and swallowed him.”Sky was taken aback for a moment and said, “My condolences.”After offering a word of comfort, Sky left and rejoined the battle.In the sky, the fierce battle continued.Even though the dragon was injured, it was still powerful. Despite having strong martial artists in the battle, it would be hard to kill the dragon, even with the addition of Langston. If Langston had not joined, the battle’s current situation would be much different.They would have been defeated long ago if Langston had not joined them.Wilbur watched the fight play out in the distance.Seeing the fierce battle, the blood in his body
An eighth-ranked grandmaster died just like that.James finally realized the battle’s cruelty.The dragon was still full of energy.More people would die if the battle was prolonged.James did not pay much attention to the battle in the distance. The lives and deaths of these people had nothing to do with him. Instead, he hoped these people would die here so that no one would cause trouble in the future.The world would finally be at peace.He looked at Thea.Thea was injured by the dragon and had severe wounds all over her body as well as some internal injuries.Fortunately, he had mastered using Crucifier and could help treat Thea’s internal injuries.There were only a few physical injuries left.With Thea’s strength, those external injuries would not pose a threat.“Thea, don’t rush back into the battle. Restore your strength first. According to my estimation, the dragon isn’t going to die any time soon. We can’t predict how many more people will be killed by the dragon.
James rushed out quickly and caught the martial artist who had been tossed away.James brought him to a safe area, put him down, and asked, “Senior Cabral, are you alright?”Simon’s hair was disheveled, and there was a bloody wound on his arm with blood dripping from it.His face was pale as he replied, “Damn, that b*stard is hard to kill.”After saying that, he prepared to rejoin the battle with his sword in hand.James quickly tugged him and said, “You should treat your wounds first.”“True.”Simon realized the dragon was about to die soon. He had to quickly treat his wound, recharge his energy, and prepare to snatch the spoils.Bzzt!Bolts of lightning kept sweeping across the sky.The Thunder King stood in the distance and constantly generated lightning to attack the cyan dragon’s body where its scales had fallen. The dragon’s flesh was scorched upon being struck by the lightning.Langston held the Primordial Dragon Blade and appeared a hundred meters above the cyan drag
Thomas was domineering.He immediately demanded that he took the Dragon Essence.“Who do you think you are, Thomas?”The Thunder King was the first to stand up against him. He raised his hand, and lightning flickered in his palm. He glared at Thomas and threatened, “Who are you to take the Dragon Essence? It belongs to me.”As he spoke, several psychics approached and stood behind the Thunder King. They stared at Thomas and the three masked men warily. Once the Thunder King gave the order, they would take action.“Haha,” Thomas chuckled.He did not take the Thunder King seriously at all.If not because he needed the psychics' strength to kill the dragon, he would have wiped out the Thunder King and the other psychics long ago.“What’s wrong? Do you have objections?”Thomas looked at the Thunder King with a smile.“Die!”The Thunder King did not waste any more words. He raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning struck. Thomas stood rooted in place. He casually waved his hand
Thus, the dragon’s blood would not coagulate after being sealed.After getting the dragon’s blood, James turned his attention to the dragon’s scales.The dragon’s scales had powerful defensive quality. He could use it to make clothes and resist attacks from peerless martial artists.The other martial artists also began to collect other dragon spoils.Dragon meat, dragon bones…Soon, the dragon’s spoils were completely divided among the martial artists.Thea was relieved that the martial artists did not get into a fierce battle after slaying the dragon.James looked at Wilbur on the ruined island and wrote on the ground—Do you want to come back to Sol with me?After seeing what James wrote, Wilbur shook his head slightly and wrote on the ground—Forget it. I don’t want to leave. I’m used to living alone. I don’t like crowds and like the quietness here.James wrote again—After we leave, I’m afraid no one else will ever come to this island. Are you sure you don’t want to come with
The Dragon Essence was temporarily useless to him since he had no idea when he would be able to enter the ninth rank.It could take ten years, maybe decades, or he might not even enter the rank after a hundred years.Meanwhile, Maxine was ecstatic.She never expected to hold onto a piece of the Dragon Essence.With her strength, she was incapable of fighting for the Dragon Essence. However, Langston’s actions allowed her to get a share of the pie. Although the piece she grabbed was smaller than James’ and Thea’s, she was still satisfied.The Dragon Essence could significantly improve her cultivation.At the very least, she would enter the eighth rank.“Honey, what’s next after we return to Cansington?”Thea leaned into James, held his hand, and snuggled into his arms, not forgetting to cast a proud look at Maxine.Her expression seemed to be showing off to Maxine that James was hers and that no matter how hard Maxine tried, she could never have James.James said with a smile,
Thea had already informed the Callahans of their return in advance. Thus, as soon as the cruise ship docked, David appeared in a pickup truck. James immediately loaded the things they brought back from the island onto the truck.Then, James approached Thomas at the dock.“Grandpa, when will you bring me to see Dad and the rest of our family? Also, I’ve been wondering who exactly my mother is.”James had never seen his mother before.As far as he could remember, his family had never said anything about his mother.His father also remarried, and he had a stepmother—Rowena.However, his decision brought disaster to his family.Thomas smiled and said, “Stay in Cansington for a few days. I’ll bring your father to come and see you soon.”After Thomas finished speaking, he left. As for James’ mother, he did not mention anything about it.James was looking forward to it.Soon, he would reunite with his family.The Callahans had no idea what James and Thea had headed overseas to do.
The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res
“No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has
At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn
That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo
Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z
"Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,
Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr
James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
